How have the lives and livelihoods of finance and accountancy professionals been impacted in the past year? Take part in AIA strategic partner, GAAPweb’s annual audience survey today and have your say.
Filled with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster, the past year has been more turbulent and tumultuous than any other in recent memory, with individuals and organisations around the world subject to a barrage of unique and largely negative events.
How many finance professionals have been on furlough? What has been the impact on salaries and bonuses? How has the accountancy job market changed and adapted?
To help answer these questions and many more, AIA would urge Accountants, Finance Managers, Credit Controllers, Analysts, CFOs and other finance professionals of all levels and titles to disclose the details of their working lives and their experiences over the past year.
AIA Policy and Public Affairs Director Rachel Rutherford added “It is vital that we continue to monitor trends and recurring themes within our industry, even during the ongoing pandemic. We cannot rest on our laurels as an industry as we strive for a profession which can adapt and eventually lead on topics such as gender pay equality.”
For example, the 2019 survey found that the overall gender pay gap within finance and accountancy had grown by 1% year-on-year to reach an appalling 26%.
However, it was also noted that change may be on the horizon, with the gender pay gap for several senior leadership roles including Finance Manager, Financial Controller and Finance Director shrinking annually.
Your response to this audience survey will help determine whether the events of 2020 reversed, accelerated or had no impact on such trends, while also allowing GAAPweb to identify changes impacting finance and accountancy professionals.
Fill out the survey today to find out how our profession changed in 2020.
